How To Watch 2026 Men\u2019s Beanpot<\/a><\/p>\nBC is carrying the Bruins-prospect torch the hardest, as six of the eight are Eagles. BU has one, and Harvard has another. Here\u2019s who you should lock in on.<\/p>\n
James Hagens<\/p>\n
This is the headliner for a reason. The Bruins\u2019 2025 first-round pick (No. 7 overall) is driving BC\u2019s offense again, stacking 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists) in 21 games with a shoot-first mindset (82 shots). In a one-and-done tournament like the Beanpot, Hagens is the type of player who can tilt a game with one shift \u2014 speed through the neutral zone or a quick give-and-go, and suddenly the puck is behind the goalie.<\/p>\n

Dean Letourneau<\/p>\n
Size and production are how you get Bruins fans talking. Letourneau is Boston\u2019s 2024 first-round pick (No. 25 overall), and he\u2019s been one of the biggest reasons BC\u2019s top end feels overwhelming with 25 points (14 goals, 11 assists) in 23 games. The fun part for Beanpot viewing: He doesn\u2019t need a perfect look. If he gets inside positioning, rebounds and tips can turn into goals.<\/p>\n
Will Moore<\/p>\n
Moore is the Bruins\u2019 2025 second-round pick (No. 51 overall), and his freshman year has been about learning how to impact games even when the points aren\u2019t coming every single night. He\u2019s got nine points (four goals, five assists) in 23 games. In the Beanpot, watch how quickly he plays when the pace ramps up. That\u2019s how a solid freshman season turns into a \u201cRemember that guy?\u201d tournament.<\/p>\n
Andre Gasseau<\/p>\n
Gasseau is an older prospect with a pro frame \u2014 exactly the kind of player Boston has historically loved to develop. The Bruins took him in 2021 (seventh round, No. 213 overall), and in limited games this season, he\u2019s produced 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 10 games. The Beanpot tends to reward experience and composure, and Gasseau plays like someone who knows how to survive chaos around the crease and still make the right play.<\/p>\n

Oskar Jellvik<\/p>\n
Jellvik is the Bruins\u2019 2021 fifth-round pick (No. 149 overall), a skilled forward who\u2019s had a short stat line so far this year. He has just one point (zero goals, one assist) in three games. One big night can change the whole conversation, though. If he finds chemistry in BC\u2019s depth minutes or jumps onto a power-play look, he\u2019s talented enough to be a \u201cWhy didn\u2019t we talk about him more?\u201d guy by the time the final horn sounds.<\/p>\n
Kristian Kostadinski<\/p>\n
A 6-6, 235-pound freshman defenseman is going to pop on your screen even if the stats don\u2019t. Kostadinski was drafted by Boston in 2023 (seventh round, No. 220 overall) and has one point (zero goals, one assist) in 11 games. In this setting, the points are secondary. The real tell is how he handles the small-ice feel, quick retrievals and passes under pressure. Can he use that reach to erase rushes without taking penalties?<\/p>\n
Jonathan Morello<\/p>\n
BU\u2019s lone Bruins prospect in this tournament is Morello, Boston\u2019s 2024 fifth-round pick (No. 154 overall). He\u2019s put up 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 26 games as a freshman, which is strong \u201cearning trust\u201d production on a deep roster. In the BU\u2013Northeastern matchup, can he get inside on scoring chances? Does he win wall plays? And does he look comfortable when the game gets nasty?<\/p>\n

Mason Langenbrunner<\/p>\n
Langenbrunner is the Harvard veteran in the group, drafted by Boston in 2020 (fifth round, No. 151 overall). He\u2019s got nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 20 games this season from the blue line. For Bruins fans, this is the classic \u201cCan he play in a structured, playoff environment?\u201d test. Beanpot games tighten up fast, and a steady defenseman who moves pucks cleanly can be just as valuable as the highlight scorer.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re watching like a Bruins scout, the cheat code is this: Points are great, but the Beanpot is really about who looks comfortable when every shift feels like it matters. And with this many Bruins prospects on the ice \u2014 especially that BC cluster \u2014 you\u2019re basically getting a mini depth-chart preview.<\/p>\n
